I tried to catch the cosmos
In a little jar
But found it far too quick
For me
To reach any of the stars
I’ve grown accustomed to the quiet
That lie beyond my door
So it was all the more
Disquieting
When I heard voices from the floor
There are so many eyes
Glowing in the dark
Watching me
Waiting until i slip.
It is maddening
The disembodied cackles
Mocking me
Not with words,
But with laughter.
Awaiting my failure
Do you see the eyes?
Do you hear the sounds?
Am i the only one
Who is
Going insane?
I am stronger than
My demons
And bigger than
My faults
So why do i let them control me
As if i am nothing at all
she carries
her poetry
like her love
on the tip of her tongue
This is neither what i expected, nor what I wanted.
I thought love was about fighting for something, not with someone- then i realized how similar the two concepts were. I understand now that i was fighting with you in order to protect myself, when really all I needed was you.
When will my heart
Be as full of love
As my mind is full
Of worries?
I took a train to Amsterdam
To see something that's new
The lull of life had gotten to me
So I got away from you.
I wandered into the purple mist
And listened to the eerie croaks
Of creatures in the dark
Paying no mind
To the smoke and haze
That smothers out my spark
I'm back where I belong, it seems
By myself at last.
I tell myself it's what I need
But thoughts are coming fast.
The world fell silent
But still you dance
With movements flowing
Like a newborn river
Knowing the path
The pattern
The way
But still unable to take it
